Hyper VTEC Revo, Hyper VTEC, Hyper VTEC Spec III, Hyper VTEC Spec IIAn amazing bike that just doesn’t die
I’ve had my CB400 for around 8 months now and I’ve done everything on it- 140kmh highway riding, cross country dirt roads, commuting, you name it this bike does it and does it well. Engine is amazing, strong and reliable and FAST for a 400. Can’t fault it. Get one now.
Purchased in October 2019.

Best learner bike
This bike is incredibly well made. Smooth inline four with an unbelievably good sound (make sure you get a stain tune aftermarket exhaust with the baffle out to really appreciate that engine)
Purchased for A$5,000.00.

A great LAMs bike that you wont get tired of
My first bike, the LAMs approved but had enough power to get up and going, smooth accel, comfitable riding position and good looks.
Have had lots of fun riding it (once i got over the nerves)
The only major downside is that it was not THAT popular in Australia and did not even get sold outside of japan and here. so aftermarket parts are an issue, usually you need to order from japan if you want something that is specific for the bike, like engine guards.
A good allrounder, does not really accel at any catagory, but on the other hand does not letdown.
And with it being a Honda its easy and cheap to maintain, while being reliable
Would recommend it to anyone looking for a good commuter bike with the ablity to cruse on the freeway.
Purchased in December 2019 at A1 Motorcycles for A$5,500.00.

Hard to fault model
If you like motorbikes, do yourself a favour and ride one of these, even if it's a test ride.
If you are a beginner, please don't buy a 125 ever (especially for Australian speeds), and at least test ride one of these before you buy a 250/300.
The engine is a gem; it's one of the most amazing engines ever made, so unique in this class and almost has a split personality. Absolutely punches above its weight, and is plain fun! Motorbikes should be fun!
It does have more expensive 24000km service intervals due to the complexity of the VTEC syst...Read more
em, but compared to owning a car it's still cheaper. The rest of the design and components compliment the showpiece, and it's just so well rounded. Comfortable, easy to ride and planted on the road, with better than average suspension and brakes.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

the perfect bike
I bought my 09 CB400 Revo back in 2012 with 1500km's on it , its now got 61,000km's on it & man what a trip its been , i've done all kinds of riding from around town / weekend day runs/2 big distance 4 day rides of which the 400 was the smallest bike of a group of 10 , but it easily kept pace with the bigger machines , its a very comfortable bike on long journeys -rode it Nowra to Melbourne & the Great ocean Rd once too , its also been a very reliable machine with only normal tyres/chain n sprockets/oil n filter/plugs etc & a very economical bi...Read more
ke too except when you want the VVT to operate but i guess the fact that the VVT gives nearly double the normal power it would be ok to use more fuel lol, in short i'd say its the best all round bike i've owned & at 60 years of age i reckon it'll outlast its rider lol.Purchased in December 2012 at Honda Nowra for A$8,000.00.

For a truly classic bike it's by far the most loved and popular bike from the Honda range.
I currently have a 1980 honda Cb400 super dream t model motorcycle. Power beyond belief especially for a bike that's almost 39 years old and still fast and driving perfectly.
Purchased in April 2013 at Private seller for A$900.00.

awesome bike in lams class
mine is 2009 model, with no abs. Bought it in 2017 with 35K ish kms on it. Use it mainly as a daily commuter.
Pro: smooth 4 cylinder engine, smooth gearbox, low seat height so it's friendly to smaller riders, comfortable seat and riding position, adjustable front forks(preload),good acceleration for a learner bike when vtec kicks in. Never had any mechanical issue.
Con:
Throttle has this on-off feeling from idle to actually moving on the road (1400-3000 rpm), nothing dramatic but still noticeable.
Front suspension a bit soft for aggressive riding style.

Unbelievable bike!!
It has a speed of 150km in 9 secs , it is also very safe with an extended seat as well as a turbo 5 cylinder engine this baby made my life a lot easier. When compared to what is out there in the market this is by far the value purchase of the year

Best Bike, You will never want another!
Best bike ever, can't fault anything for a 400cc. I have had it since 2015, brings smile on my face each time i get on it. Fun for city trips and about, would do motorways/highways but would prefer biker bikes. Best all rounder, sad they have discontinued this model........i know people are dying to get their hands on these nifty ones. ☺

Realiable bike for beginners
I have been riding for many years and experienced quiet a few different bikes and recently I had a chance to ride a CB400 LAMs for half of the day.
The first thing I noticed was how quiet it was,
I was quiet surprised with the amount of grunt for a small 400cc bike.
I was expecting acceleration frustration but it seemed powerful enough to get you going fast enough for the roads.
Pros:
1. Enough power
2. easy to control

The Best Bike I Have Ever Owned!!
I can't find any fault whats so ever with my CB400. Best bike I have ever owned. Would recommend to anyone, lams rider or not and there are not many bikes that look better either. Mine is the 2012 white, red and blue model with gold wheels and its only got a cheep Delevic but sounds angry as hell when V-TEC kicks in!

I'm In Love With My Bike
I've had the CB400 for nearly 6 months, put a good 4,000kms, went on a couple of nice road trips, commuted for a few weeks 60km a day, done some easy peasy maintenance and I find that this bike has everything I ever wanted. It's solid, it's well built, I love how chunky it is and the upright position, the seat height is perfect and that V-tech kick just adds lots of fun to the whole experience, it pulls nicely when it kicks and roars like a sporty bike, very much fun.
It's a very forgiving bike, the breaks are just great, I don't have ABS an...Read more
d have had to break hard quite a few times didn't have a problem. The more I look at it, the more I add kms to it the more I'm in love with its performance, its looks and its sound. I'm really happy with it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!
Perfect
I have owned my '08 cb400 revo for one year now since getting my learners and it has been nothing short of an absolute pleasure owning this bike. The bike is beautiful to look at with classic lines and a lovely sweeping tail, it sounds amazing especially after throwing on a Yoshimura r77 the VTEC note brings a grin every time (always accompanied by a few crackles & pops), and the bike rides really well feels planted & stable when cornering hard... having ridden a few other bigger lams bikes (650cc twins & fours) I always find myself aching to g...Read more
et back on the cb... it's just silky smooth & easy to ride fast. It is also incredibly comfy and can be ridden for hours on end without any aches or pains. It's a bike that does everything REALLY well that looks & feels like a premium machine, reliability is as you'd expect from Honda - superb.. one of my best purchases ever & seriously considering keeping the cb beyond my lams period alongside a super sports.Similar opinion?

Excellent Bike
I just went from a 125cc Honda to a Yamaha R3 to the CB400. I've got to say, it just feels great to handle and yet has loads of power and roars like a lion, awesome great bike. I hope to have much fun with it! It's the second day I have it so I am not confident enough to treat it rough, yet I revved it like no other!! seriously great bike!

A great quality bike
I am on my 2nd CB400 and love them. I learnt on an older model and decided to upgrade a year later. I looked around and considered a CBR 500 as a contender also but went with the CB400. It is a well built bike, reliable, good quality and safe. I would recommend them to anyone. I enjoy riding it and it has enough power to be fun and nifty enough to throw it around a bit ..... yes its a bit windy at times but hey .. and yes the gears can be a bit notchy but you do get used to that over all its a smooth ride. Certainly a good learners bike.

SO TRUE WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE ONLY BIKE YOU WILL EVER NEED IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE
I bought my 2011 CB400ABS in 2013 and i honestly cannot live without it. Shes a beauty to look at, and an absolute pleasure to ride. Almost no faults at all, these CBs are not a big "small bikes" or a small "big bikes" but are perfect in every scenario.
East to learn on. Easy to master. I also strongly suggest buying an ABS model CB400 as the nissin pistons and ABS work like a dream. Fuel tank is monstrous and will last you ages, and VTEC makes her sound like an formula one car.
Also if aftermarket modifications is your thing, than you c...Read more
an make this bike look like a streetfighter, speeder, workhorse or a cafe racer for chump change. They can keep up with litre bikes and are nimble enough to slide with ease through city traffic. Thai Airways International should rename and rebrand their slogan "smooth as silk" because that slogan actually belongs to honda motorcycles XD all in all a timeless classic design with the unbeatable reliability that only honda will offer.

Perfect first bike
My 2012 CB400A has been a great first bike, was comfortable and didnt miss a beat on a recent 850km round trip. It Kept up with larger bikes (1200's). The bike has been lowered to suit me at 5 feet 2inch tall. You won't regret the purchase, build quality is excellent.
